Complaint Review: American Direct Sweepstakes

These people ar very creative, first they send you a mailer that looks very "official" but what their tactic is to continue to send you mail until you finally respond. Once you do or don't they will have another con-artist call you claiming to be someone "confirming" that this sweepstakes prize and company is legit. I actually spoke to someone from the "Federal Trade Commission" confirming my father's prize. She can be reached at 202-904-2248. The Vegas offices that sent the prize can be reached at 1-800-715-2816 and the American Direct Sweepstakes company can be reached at 702-853-0120. So if you see any of these numbers/companies trying to contact you, well, what can I say but, see your report next to mine on this list!

I have to file another report regarding Global Trust, sounds like they are in the same conning business as American Direct because they contacted my father today. American Direct wanted $3,000 - $4,000. Global only wants $1,800 to send my dad to the Canadian border to claim his $350K prize. Maybe I'll a telegram to their MOTHER to pick up the prize.

PS - It's sad these people pray on the elderly - my dad is 71.
